Land Annexed For Town Homes

MOKENA — The Mokena Village Board Monday annexed 13 acres at Wolf and Hamilton Roads and rezoned the land for a town home development.

Concerns about drainage and road renovations were addressed before the Hamilton Crossings development could be approved.

"We don't just develop these projects in a year or two," Mayor Ron Grotovsky said. "We've been working on this development for four years."

Renovations for Hamilton Road, which extends southwest from Wolf Road to Francis Road, will be included in the project.

Developer William Weber, who plans to build 74 dwellings on 13 acres between Hamilton Road and the Metra railroad tracks, will contribute $190,000 toward road work, which is expected to cost $1 million.
